Ingredients
- 12 pieces Cannelloni pasta shells
- 250 grams Ricotta cheese
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 75 grams Mini chocolate chips
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 grams Dark chocolate
- 20 grams Unsalted butter
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 6 pieces Fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the cannelloni shells according to the package instructions or until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently to distribute them evenly through the ricotta mixture.
Step 4
Transfer the ricotta filling to a piping bag with a plain or star tip. If you don’t have a piping bag, use a resealable plastic bag and snip off one corner.
Step 5
Pipe the sweet ricotta mixture into each cooled cannelloni shell until filled. Place the filled cannelloni onto a serving platter.
Step 6
In a saucepan over low heat, combine heavy cream, dark chocolate, and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is melted and smooth to create the chocolate sauce.
Step 7
Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce generously over the stuffed cannelloni.
Step 8
Dust the tops with powdered sugar for a decorative finish and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Step 9
Serve immediately for the best flavor, or chill slightly in the fridge for a firmer texture before serving.
